The Attorney General's office said the women, along with Mexican Carlos Lopez Marin, were caught throwing explosives at an office of the Ministry of Communications and Transport and two car dealerships, Mexican newspaper Proceso reported.

The Canadians had a backpack containing Molotov cocktails, a prosecutor told the paper, and they face vandalism charges.
